AMERICA'S GREATEST ANIMALS

ABOUT THE SHOW

South Africa’s Big Five have finally got some heavyweight competition. The Elephant, Leopard, Lion, Rhinoceros, and Water Buffalo may meet its match in the jungles if the Americans have their way. A century ago, these iconic land animals of Africa were coined “The Big Five” by trophy hunters. They dominate the land with their intelligence, charisma, and courage. Truly Africa’s finest. But now it is time to find a new Big Five. North America wants to take a shot at the game and see if they can compete with Africa’s beasts. America’s Greatest Animals nominates twelve candidates that have the characteristics that make them worthy of the chase. Each challenger will be judged on adaptation, appearance, intelligence, size, and weaponry. Supersize me, would surely take on a new meaning in the jungle, now.
